Up Against (Blackout) lyrics

[Intro: Adam Lazzara]
So this is what we're up against?
So this is what we're up against?

[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
Face it
This is what we're up, up against
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away
Face it
This is what we're up, up against
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away

[Verse 1: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino, both]
Regrets always work
Excuses are better
A practical exchange
Or a trade for the truth
But you know it never held up
But you know it never held up
Pretend that it's still good now

[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
Face it
This is what we're up, up against
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away
Face it
This is what we're up, up against
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away
[Verse 2: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino, both]
We're turning our clocks back
We're just never ourselves
So go with the flow
Just relax, just relax
You never feel the jet lag
Unless you're trying to fit in

[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
Face it
This is what we're up, up against
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away
Face it
This is what we're up, up against
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away
Every minute is a minute away

[Bridge: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
Less is more except when it
Comes to mistakes
How long is long? That depends
How long it takes
(How long?) Less is more except when it
(How long?) Comes to mistakes
(How long?) How long is long? That depends
(How long?) How long it takes
The years, not months
Not days, you blackout memories
The years, not months
Not days, you blackout memories
[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
Face it
This is what we're up, up against
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away
Face it
This is what we're up, up against
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away
Every minute is a minute away
Every minute is a minute
And a minute and a minute away
